The Bird At Birtle

Been here a few times and always had a good experience. The servers, though young, are fantastic well-presented, and professional. The manageress was clearly running an efficient and tight ship, and all very friendly and polite. The food is very high quality: our family have exceptionally high standards and have eaten in some of the best places in the country and continent, so we know our food and to impress my parents is an achievement. Maybe those saying it is bland should look at their diets - too much over processed food and sugar dulls your taste buds. And anyone complaining about portion/price on here doesn't understand portion sizes, or the costs involved in making and serving quality food, which is probably why The Clarence has sadly closed. If Bury wants nice things, you have to raise your standards and support the people providing those nice things! Will inevitably return as it's the best place for eating out in the area.

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch here today. Food was spot on - smoked haddock main (specials menu) and battered fish and chips were beautifully cooked and presented and our desserts didn’t disappoint either. Very relaxed ambience and attentive friendly service. High standards all round. A lovely little weekend treat.
